The Role of Neurotransmitters in Violence and Aggression

Abstract: Like all behaviors, aggression and violence have their roots in neurobiology. In this chapter, we review research that explores the roles of serotonin, norepinephrine, dopamine, glutamate, and γ‐aminobutyric acid (GABA) in aggressive behavior. We highlight how maladaptive aggression is determined by neural activity in specific pathways and receptors in the serotonin system, which in turn are modulated by catecholamines, GABA, and glutamate. In addition, these neurotransmitter systems are modulated by several n… Show more

“…A systematic review of studies that used nutritional supplementation to reduce violent or aggressive behavior (Qureshi et al, 2021) What is also unclear from the diet-aggression studies is the exact mechanism by which the impact of specific nutritional elements translates into behavioral outcomes. One important mechanism that has been established convincingly is the role of neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, GABA, and possibly others in the causation of aggressive and violent behavior (Miczek et al, 2002(Miczek et al, , 2007(Miczek et al, , 2017Narvaes & de Almeida, 2014;Nelson & Trainor, 2007;van Goozen et al, 2007). Liu and Raine (2017) also suggest that it is the effect on the brain that connects poor nutrition with adverse behavioral outcomes.…”

“…Через несколько лет после первых исследований взаимосвязи агрессии и систем серотонина, дофамина и норадреналина группа исследователей из Йельского университета сообщила о первых свидетельствах участия ГАМКергической системы в развитии и регуляции АП [20]. По мнению ученых, баланс между глутаматергическим возбуждением и ГАМКергическим торможением в лимбической области модулирует серотонин и другие аминергические системы, а дисбаланс взаимодействия этих систем может способствовать возникновению выраженных аффективных расстройств и различных проявлений АП [24].…”

“…Несмотря на большое количество исследований, посвященных изучению роли глутамата в патофизиологических механизмах формирования психической патологии (шизофрении, аффективных, тревожных и аддиктивных расстройств), лишь в небольшом количестве исследований показано его влияние на возникновение АП [27]. Такого ро-да информация получена преимущественно в результате доклинических исследований с использованием антагонистов NMDAR [24]. В частности, продемонстрировано, что низкие дозы антагонистов этих рецепторов, таких как дизоцилпин и фенциклидин, а также другие фармакологические препараты, обладающие аналогичным действием, -кетамин и мемантин -могут усилить АП у лабораторных грызунов [24].…”

“…Among the neurochemicals implicated in maladaptive forms of escalated aggression and violence in humans and laboratory animals [30] , AVP and DA have been shown to be important in the regulation of adaptive forms of agonistic behavior such as selective aggression in prairie voles. Following mating and extended cohabitation, males that are pair-bonded with a female exhibit aggression toward conspecific male and female strangers but not toward their familiar female partner (selective aggression; Figure 1c&d ), and this behavior is important in maintaining established pair-bonds [31] .…”
